SSSOM Curator 0.5.1-dev Documentation
SSSOM Curator is a suite of tools for predicting and curating semantic mappings encoded in the Simple Standard for Sharing Ontological Mappings (SSSOM). It has three major components:
A semantic mappings prediction workflow, with implementations for lexical matching and lexical embedding similarity and extensibility for additional implementations
A (local) web-based curation interface for quick triage of predicted semantic mappings that supports full curator provenance
A set of tools for data integrity testing, summarization, and export
The SSSOM Curator evolved from the Biomappings semi-automated curation workflow, but is now fully domain-agnostic and reusable in custom environments. This package can be used by a variety of people:
Curator - someone who creates data. For example, an ontologist might want to curate semantic mappings between terms in their ontology and external ontologies, controlled vocabularies, databases, or other resources that mint identifiers for entities in the same domain.
Semantic Data Engineer - someone who builds data pipelines. For example, a semantic data engineer might consume SSSOM from multiple sources to support the standardized identification of entities, and may directly use the SSSOM Curator Python package to support this
Software Developer - someone who develops tools to support data creators, data consumers, and other software developers. For example, a software developer might want to integrate SSSOM Curator in their toolchain and extend it to support their team of curators and semantic data engineers.
